Fort Worth's Operation New Day Wraps Up: 141 Charged, 35 Firearms and 45 Kilograms of Methamphetamine Seized
FORT WORTH, Texas — Operation New Day, a large-scale fall public safety operation in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas, has concluded, with federal officials announcing on November 9 that 141 suspects have been charged and numerous firearms and drugs seized.
The operation ran from August 25 to November 5 and was carried out jointly by the U.S. Attorney's Office, Homeland Security Investigations, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Marshals Service North Texas Fugitive Task Force. Officers seized 35 firearms, more than 100 grams of fentanyl, more than 45 kilograms of methamphetamine and more than 22 kilograms of cocaine.
The ATF charged 15 defendants with federal firearms offenses and seized 41 machinegun conversion devices, which officials said pose an extreme threat to communities and law enforcement.
U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould said that in two and a half months the operation took 141 criminal offenders off the streets of Fort Worth, including drug traffickers, armed felons and people who exploit children. The 141 defendants face a variety of drug and firearms charges, and their cases will proceed through the courts.
